about us

The Canvas Art Gallery showcases the best contemporary art, right in the heart of South Belfast

Canvas: the local art gallery and art dealer promoting contemporary local art

Canvas Art Gallery is right at home in the heart of Stranmills; within easy reach of Queens University, Belfast and the Ulster Museum. It's a perfect setting for Belfast's most accessible art gallery and art dealer.

Maybe it's Canvas' 'working gallery' status that makes it so accessible. Or maybe it's just because Paul and his staff care so much about promoting local artists. Whatever it is, Canvas is a breath of fresh air.

(with a 2nd branch for framing at 101 Ballynahinch Rd. Carryduff BT8 8DP)

for contemporary art, exhibitions and a bespoke framing service

The art gallery showcases an exciting range of contemporary works, primarily by local artists. You're welcome to step in and browse, without being pressurised into buying anything.

Refreshingly there's no pretension either. This is a contemporary gallery showcasing an eclectic body of work - but above all, it's a gallery to be enjoyed.

If you do want to buy, you can buy in confidence. You'll be investing in a wholly original art work (or very limited edition print) by one of the leading lights of the Belfast art community. There's a fine selection of the gallery's works on display on Canvas' web site. Prices start at just £150 - for a framed work of art. We said it was accessible!

Canvas has an important role to play in promoting local art. A regular programme of exhibitions ensures that Canvas reaches out to the local community. And it is surely the best art gallery and art dealer in Belfast to buy original works by respected local artists.

Paul Evans and his team have amassed an enviable collection of works by some of the best artists in Belfast, but they're not just collectors and this isn't just an art gallery and art dealer; they're framing experts too. Framing is expertly and sensitively carried out on the premises. Finished, framed art work can even be completed within 24 hours and delivered, on request.

We now specialise in Fine and Contemporary Art, sculpture, Limited Edition Prints, and Photography, all available to buy online.
